Food Bank Fill Up



  • For those of you in the Tri-Cities area the Food Bank fill up will be at:

    Parking lot of PriceSmart Foods (at the corner of Pinetree and Lougheed Hwy in Coquitlam)

    If you are not in the Tri-cities I encourage you to support your local Food Bank and give generously, our Food Bank is not unique, at this time of year all Food Banks are down in their food supply. Help if you can!

    The food bank has just over twenty days of food left at this time, and with the start of school  the need for donations couldn’t be greater.

    Come on down to PriceSmart Foods and help us fill a semi-trailer with donations for the SHARE Food Bank! Bring some non-perishable food donations and enjoy a hotdog and some popcorn, too.

    Plus..Kelly Holmes of 93.7 JRfm will be doing live cuts at the event from 12-2pm!!

    Ways to support:

    1. Purchase a pre-packaged hamper inside PriceSmart Foods

    2. Host a food drive of your own! Collect food with your friends, families, colleagues, and bring down your donations!

    3. Simply come on down with your own cash and/or food donations.

    The most urgently needed items are:
    -           Rice
    -           Pasta and pasta sauce
    -           Canned meals (ravioli, beans etc.)
    -           Canned fruit
    -           Lipton Sidekicks, Hamburger Helpers, Shake & Bake, Kraft Dinner
    -           Juice
    -           Canned tomatoes
    -           Cereal
    -           Peanut Butter (medium size)

    4. SHARE is also recruiting volunteers for this event! An event like this could never be possible without the support of our volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Heather at 604-529-5107 or email heather.stacey@sharesociety.ca.

    The SHARE Food Bank Fill Up is a great opportunity to get involved. Come on down to drop off your donations, enjoy the festivities, and make a difference in the community!
